Metal Roofing

Property, access & exposure
Local context in Los Gatos
Los Gatos neighborhoods include mid-century modern homes from the 1950s-60s and Spanish colonial revival estates from the early 1900s.
Steep-pitched hillside residences here demand proper flashing, underlayment, and ventilation to handle winter rain.
We work with asphalt shingles, architectural shingles, slate, and metal roofing across the area.
Roof and weather background
Winter rains at this elevation create persistent moisture challenges.
Water finds its way under shingles when flashing isn't sealed or when ice-and-water shield fails under freeze-thaw cycles. Ice dams form behind frozen gutters.
We've pulled up roofing felt and tar paper that rotted through from prolonged moisture. The valley and ridge cap fail first.
Summer heat cycles stress asphalt shingles and architectural shingles, opening gaps in the field course. Fog and moisture accelerate algae growth on the roof surface.
The membrane becomes brittle under UV exposure. Granule loss exposes shingles to further damage—peel and blister follow, and water intrusion accelerates.
We start with a roof inspection to measure the scope.
A sound roof deck with plywood or OSB sheathing and solid underlayment matter more than shingle type.
We replace rot, restore flashing and chimney flashing with mastic and sealant, and install ice-and-water shield in high-risk zones.
Our crew brings nail guns and fasteners calibrated for pitch and substrate.

Los Gatos roofing questions
What's the best roofing material for this climate?
Asphalt shingles handle winter rain and summer heat if installed on solid sheathing with proper ventilation and fastener placement.
Metal roofing and architectural shingles also perform well here, with lower maintenance needs.
How often should I have my roof inspected?
We recommend a roof inspection annually and always after winter storms.
We check for granule loss, flashing and chimney flashing condition, ice-and-water shield integrity, roof deck moisture, and gutter debris.
Early detection stops small leaks before water intrusion damages your home.
What causes roofs to fail in winter?
Moisture and ice dams form when water backs up behind frozen gutters or seeps under shingles through failed flashing.
The roof deck rots if water wicks into the substrate. Proper underlayment, chimney flashing, and gutter maintenance prevent most winter failures.
